i started up my ls vtec today and noticed a sound exactly like this http://media.putfile.com/1995-Integra-GS-R-Engine-Sound The car was fine when i parked it it started up just fine and it has a chattering sound like a bolt or something fell in the head. it runs fine throws no codes compression is fine but it sounds annoying and this motor is brand new, i have it for the daily driver and havent been hard on it at all. when you rev the car it goes away and comes back dont know if it goes away when the car is warmed up i heard that sound and shut it off. could this be the water pump or something near it, its sounds like its on the intake side.

try tightening your belts first if it will not go away take off you belts if it gos away you might have a bad alt, p.s. pump, ac.if it is still ther with the belt off water pump, t belt, t belt tensioner.let ne know

its not the squeeking sound its more of the ticking sound almost like a knock but im pretty sure its not.

the timing belt has a little pay on the front under the exhaust cam but its not flapping or anything

90_crx_flaze

Snoopy

mine did the same ls and sorry to say had a bad rod sent a piston through the block!

Hondelso

well are you using new pistons? vtec pistons are DIFFERENT than a non-vtec piston. it's better to use vtec pistons it's a lot easier to get proper clearance.

there is no rod through the block, i pulled off the oil pan and took of the baffle cover thing and everything looks fine from below i turned the crank as i looked the rods arnt bent or broken the car has fine compression!
